When the chief housekeeper heard this, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly said, "Rong Shizi, you can't do this!" It's not like I won't give you money! The dignified Pingnan Mansion can still miss your tens of thousands of taels of silver! ”

"Yes, your dignified Pingnan Mansion is naturally not short of these tens of thousands of taels of silver, but I have no foundation in the capital, and it is effortless for you to rely on my account and bully me alone. Whether I can get my hands on this silver is secondary, and whether my life can be saved is two words. Rong Zhao sneered.

"Look at what you're saying, how is this possible!" The butler of the Pingnan Mansion shook his head.

"Yes! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Pingnan Mansion cannot cover the sky with one hand. There's also the emperor above! Gu Chen said lightly.

"Gu Gongzi, let's talk well, don't be sneering." The butler smiled helplessly.

"Today is my son's family banquet, Rong Gongzi is my Gu family's guest, you have something to say quickly, please go back if you have nothing to do, and a few of my friends are waiting to drink with Rong Gongzi." Gu Chen frowned and said.

"Young Master Rong, then let's talk about it......" The housekeeper looked at Rong Zhao again.

"I didn't say this, you said it." Rong Zhao said with a smile.

"I only have 20,000 taels of silver tickets with me, and I really can't get any more. You give me the things first, and the morning after tomorrow at the latest, I will definitely send the rest of the silver to the Rui King's Mansion, okay? ”

"If you continue to talk about it, this son seems to be dead and can't be saved, so be it." Rong Zhao smiled helplessly.

"Thank you, Childe." The butler took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and offered it with both hands.

Rong Zhao stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket and looked at it, then handed it to Mei Ruo behind him, and Fang shouted outside: "Huo Yun? ”

"The subordinates are here." Huo Yun entered in response.

"Give him something." Rong Zhao said, and the person had already stood up to leave.

"Yes." Huo Yun took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the housekeeper of the Pingnan Palace.

"What about this...... Is that right? The butler took it and unfolded it, he knew all the words written on it, but the combination of these words was strange, and he didn't know what it was.

"This is the one that Gongzi handed me early in the morning, how has it ever been changed? You love to believe it or not, and you don't believe it to pull down. Huo Yun said angrily.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave." The butler nodded to Rong Zhao and Gu Chen, took the piece of paper and turned to leave.

Only then did Gu Chen have the time to ask Rong Zhao: "What is worth 50,000 taels?" ”

"Zhao Hai was seriously injured on the way to Northern Xinjiang, you should know about it?" Rong Zhao asked.

"I know, this matter is now spreading, I heard that Zhao Hai is still highly poisonous? They used villain tricks to kill Zhennanhou, and now they have been retributed. Gu Chen said with a smile.

"Yes! No one can solve the strange poison in Zhao Hai's body, so his father thought of my Zi Ji. ran into the palace and asked for a holy decree for Zi Ji to detoxify his son...... Ha ha! Rong Zhao said, sneering.

"Phew! This old thing is really shameless. The begger still refuses to bow his head, relying on the fact that it's just the royal family and puts that stinky shelf everywhere. Gu Chen said.

Rong Zhao chuckled and said, "So, if he puts up a shelf, I will ask for silver." He has a dignified status as a royal family, so he shouldn't be a scoundrel with me, right? ”

"Haha! It's a ruthless move. That's how it should be done with people like him! Gu Chen patted Rong Zhao's shoulder with a smile, and asked strangely, "The piece of paper you just gave him is an antidote?" It's too cheap to give them just like that! ”

"Not an antidote. It's just that it is written to understand what kind of poison Zhao Hai is. As for how to prepare the antidote and what kind of antidote, there is no explanation yet. Rong Zhao said with a smile.

"Just write down what kind of poison in him, you dare to ask for 50,000 taels of silver?" This review is really shocking.

"The Pingnan Royal Mansion is full of talents, but no one knows what poison Zhao Hai has, even the best imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital can't find out, only I can find out these seven poisons, do you say it's worth the price?"

"Seven poisons?!" Gu Chen's eyes widened, "It's a miracle that Zhao Hai is still alive!" ”

"A master gave him a heart protection pill, but the poisonous gas could not invade the five internal organs within ten days. So Zhao Hai still has his life for the time being. Rong Zhao explained.

"I see." Gu Chen nodded and said, "Then he now knows what kind of poison Zhao Haizhong is, so he can naturally configure the antidote by himself?" In this way, 50,000 taels of silver to buy his son's life is really not expensive. ”

"Twenty thousand! Where's 50,000?! Rong Zhao sneered, shook his head and said, "I'm thinking it's quite beautiful, I dare to say that he will definitely rely on the 30,000 silver." ”

"He can really do this kind of thing." Gu Chen also shook his head helplessly, and the two of them returned to the banquet while talking.

However, he said that the chief housekeeper of Pingnan Wangfu left the Gu family with a note of 20,000 taels of silver, and he did not dare to delay Ma Rufei to return to Pingnan Wangfu along the way, and sent the note to King Pingnan as soon as possible.

Lan Xiang and Wan Qianyao had been waiting here for a long time, anyway, Zhao Lie didn't know anything about poison, so he handed the note to Wan Qianyao and said, "Look at it." ”

Wan Qiyao didn't look at it, and when he saw it, he was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "This is impossible!" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhao Lie asked.

Wan Qiyao looked up at Lan Xiang, but Lan Xiang looked at the paper like a ghost.

"What the hell is going on?!" Zhao Lie asked impatiently.

"These are the seven poisons in the Nine Chains, but the order has changed." Wan Qiyao frowned.

"I'll just say this poison must be the dead girl's ghost! Sure enough! Zhao Lie was so angry that he kicked over the brass spittoon next to him, and scolded angrily: "This king is going to settle accounts with her!" ”

"Lord Wang!" Wan Qiyao hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhao Lie, "You go to her like this, what if she doesn't admit it?" The Bashu Tang Sect has long been destroyed, this girl was still a child, and she may not know about the poison of the nine chains. Moreover, didn't Xu Feng ask her to inspect Zhou Yueting's body a while ago? Maybe she just knows a special set of test methods, and it's really plain for you to go to her to settle accounts like this. If it's just Rong Zhao alone, then King Rui is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

Zhao Lie sighed heavily, frowned, and said, "I can't say that this breath can only be swallowed temporarily, and I will take revenge when I turn around and look for an opportunity!" ”

"That's what the prince said." Wan Qiyao said busily.

"In that case, you should go and dispense the antidote immediately, just say what you need." Zhao Lie said.

Wan Qiyao glanced back at Lan Xiang, Lan Xiang pursed her lips, and said carefully: "Lord Wang, the Nine Rings are poison without a solution......

"Fart!" Zhao Lie immediately swore and sweared, "Didn't Zhao Mu get this poison and still live well?" Why is there no solution?! ”

"Yes." Lan Xiang replied weakly, and quietly looked at Wan Qiyao.

Wan Qiyao said helplessly: "Lord Wang, King Rui's poison was solved by that Zi Ji. But we haven't concocted an antidote yet. What's more, looking at what is written on this paper, the poison of the nine chains is used upside down, and the proportion of preparation must be different, and this antidote is only afraid that it will be more difficult. ”

"Do you mean to let this king go to that stinky girl named Zi Ji and beg her to come to this king's son?!" Zhao Lie glared at Wan Qianyao, and a pair of grim eagle eyes were almost bleeding.

"Lord Wang, we only have ten days." Wan Qiyao sighed helplessly, "If we had a year, my junior sister and I could try one poison at a time, but not now." The life of the son of the world is at stake! ”

Zhao Lie was so angry when he heard this, but he couldn't do anything, he walked around the house, and finally lifted the tea table and pointed at Lan Xiang and Wan Qiyao and scolded angrily: "Get out!" Get out of here! Get lost! ”

Lan Xiang didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly pulled Wan Qiaoyao to roll away.

The big butler next to him shrunk his shoulders and didn't dare to speak, for fear of being accidentally disliked by the prince, so he told him to get out of here.

"Rong Zhao is in the Gu family now?" King Pingnan calmed down after being irritable, his son was saved, and he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother to be saved! So he turned around and asked the housekeeper, "I heard you say that the girl of the Gu family has a birthday today?" ”

"Back to the prince, that's the case." The housekeeper didn't dare to say a word.

"Go and prepare a birthday gift and accompany this king to Gu's house." Zhao Lie said predictively.

"Yes, lord." The housekeeper answered, and hurriedly went to the warehouse to pick out a pair of Hetian jade lion paperweights, an agarwood arm rest, and ten Hangzhou silks with elegant colors and good texture to show Zhao Lie.

Zhao Lie didn't look for an excuse to find Rong Zhao where he cared about this, so he didn't look at it and ordered the housekeeper to bring things and go with him.

The Pingnan Royal Mansion is not close to the Gu family, the Gu family is a family for many generations, and the ancestral house is in the east of the palace, adjacent to the Xie family and the Wang family. The Pingnan Royal Mansion is the royal family of the current dynasty, and the mansions are built in the west of the palace, which is basically connected with the mansions of the newly sealed princes and uncles of this dynasty.

After the housekeeper's back-and-forth work, the banquet on the Gu family's side is nearing the end.

Rong Zhao and everyone at the banquet were more or less drunk, only King Rui didn't drink because of his body and kept his original sobriety. Hearing that King Pingnan was coming, and it was to celebrate Gu Mingxuan's birthday, Gu Chen was stunned at the time, and muttered: "Which one is King Pingnan singing?" ”

"It's definitely a pity again." On the other side, Xiao Heng smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"That's right! Maybe his conscience found out and sent the 30,000 taels he owed. Haha......" Gu Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Mu got up and said, "You guys drink tea and chat here, and this king will go to the front to meet King Pingnan." ”

"Don't mind! It's my Gu family here, how can there be a reason for a distinguished guest to come to the door but I, the host, hide behind to drink tea and chat? When I look back, my father knows about it, and he still can't hang me up and beat me? Gu Chen, who was already six or seven minutes drunk, got up and left the table with a smile, "Whether you go out or Rong Shizi goes out, I have to go out to meet guests anyway." ”

Rong Zhao sat there with a soup bowl and said while drinking: "Go ahead, if the prince really sent me the 30,000 taels of silver, you can accept it for me first, this soup is so delicious, I have to drink two more sips." ”

"Okay, you drink slowly, don't worry." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he went to the front hall with Zhao Mu to receive the distinguished guests.

King Pingnan, who was anxiously waiting in the front hall, couldn't help but frown deeper when he saw that it was Zhao Mu and Gu Chen instead of Rong Zhao.

Gu Chen stepped forward with a smile and bowed, and said loudly: "How dare the little sister alarm the prince on her little birthday, it's really a sin, a sin!" ”

"Gu Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, this king came here mainly to find Rong Zhao, and it is just a passing thing to congratulate your sister on her birthday. Why didn't Rong Zhao come out? Is it deliberately avoiding this king? Zhao Lie asked with a gloomy face.

Zhao Mu was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and asked with a sneer: "What Uncle Wang said is interesting, Rong Zhao didn't owe Uncle Wang silver, why did he avoid you?" ”

"Third child, this king and you are uncles and nephews, there is no need for you and me to fall out for an outsider, right?" Zhao Lie squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu was not afraid of Zhao Lie at all, and there was still an indifferent sneer on the corner of his lips, and said: "Rong Zhao is now living in this king's mansion, so he is naturally not an outsider. As for the relationship between the uncle and the king, everyone knows it, and today the uncle specially proposed, is there any other deep meaning? ”

"There's no deep meaning, I don't have time to talk to you, Rong Zhao? Call him out. Zhao Lie was too lazy to grind his teeth with the two juniors.

"I'm really embarrassed, Lord Wang, Rong Zhao is drunk, I'm afraid I can't come to see you." Gu Chen said apologetically.

Zhao Mu said again: "Is there something that Uncle Wang is looking for Rong Zhao?" If you want to pay him back the 30,000 taels of silver, you can give it to me, and I will definitely pass it on to him. ”

"I can testify to this." Gu Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Lie's eyebrows were on fire, but he didn't want to face Gu Chen and Zhao Musa, and said with all his might: "Thirty thousand taels of silver will naturally not be missing him, since he is drunk, it is the same to ask his concubine Ziji to come out to see this king." ”

"Zihime?" Gu Chen glanced back at Zhao Mu and asked with a smile, "Who is Zi Ji?" Does the prince know? ”

"Zi Ji is a concubine by Rong Zhao's side, born in the rivers and lakes, and knows how to poison. He once saved the life of this king. Zhao Mu said slowly, "It's just that she is Rong Zhao's person, and if the uncle wants to see her, he must have Rong Zhao's consent." ”

Zhao Lie frowned and said, "Isn't Rong Zhao your person?" Isn't it easy for you to speak? ”

"I'm naturally good at talking, but I'm not good at managing things in the room." Zhao Mu smiled.

"Third child, I'm here for a matter of human life! If you don't help, forget it, and actually make a hindrance from it! What is your heart? Zhao Lie's anger in his heart couldn't hold back any longer, and he couldn't help but question angrily.

Zhao Mu spread his hands innocently and said with a smile: "Where can I get in the way?" If I'm not mistaken, Uncle Wang, you are asking for Rong Zhao now, but why can't this king see the slightest hint of asking for help on your face, Uncle Wang? ”

Zhao Lie gritted his teeth and said: "Third child, I know that you resent me in your heart for being close to King Su, and many things in the court have not supported you. But state affairs are state affairs, and now it is a family affair of our Zhao family, so you don't want to take the opportunity to retaliate! If Zhao Hai has three longs and two shorts, this king will definitely not give up! ”

"Hah! Hahaha! Zhao Mu raised his head and laughed twice, and then said coldly: "What Uncle Wang said is very interesting. How did this king mention the affairs of the court? And what does Zhao Hai's affairs have to do with this king? Could it be that you suspect that this king poisoned him? The king almost lost his life before, and the Zhou family was used and destroyed, who was behind it? If this king is also like your uncle, you will put this hat on whose head you disagree with whoever you disagree with, then uncle, do you think you can still run to Gu's house to make trouble unreasonably? ”

Zhao Lie spun around in place, came back and stomped his feet: "This king is most annoyed to argue with you people with tongues!" Well, this king can't argue with you. Say, what do you have to do to call Rong Zhao and that girl from the Bashu Tang Sect out and go with this king! ”

"It's impossible to go with my uncle. The Pingnan Mansion is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and it will be difficult for the two of them to get out once they enter. Zhao Mu said firmly.

"What are you talking about? I asked them to detoxify my son! Zhao Lie said funny, "When did my palace become a tiger's den in Longtan?!" ”

"Uncle, you know what you have in mind. In this way, it will be easy for you to see Rong Zhao, so first bring the 30,000 taels of silver you owe. Zhao Mu didn't want to talk nonsense here, he felt annoyed when he looked at Zhao Lie more, it was better to watch Rong Zhao drink if he had this spare time.

Zhao Lie didn't have the slightest patience for a long time, and after listening to Zhao Mu's words, he immediately turned his head and ordered the housekeeper: "Give it to him!" ”

In fact, when I got up early in the morning, the housekeeper brought enough 50,000 taels of silver tickets with him, but the 50,000 taels of silver tickets were really reluctant to take them out, so he told Rong Zhao about it, and originally thought that the 20,000 taels of silver would be done, but unexpectedly, the 30,000 taels of silver tickets had to be handed over obediently before they were hot.

Zhao Mu took the thick stack of silver tickets, counted them carefully, and then neatly folded them and stuffed them into his sleeves, and said to Gu Chen: "Send someone to the back to wake up Rong Zhao, and say that King Pingnan's silver has been returned, let him come to the front." ”

Gu Chen turned around and asked his personal servant: "Do you understand what the prince said?" ”

The little guy hurriedly replied: "The little one understands, the little one will go." ”

Zhao Mu smiled and pointed to the chair, and said to King Pingnan, "Uncle, sit down and have a cup of tea." ”

King Pingnan sighed heavily and turned around to sit on the chair, Gu Chen personally stepped forward to pour tea, but Zhao Lie didn't look at it - how could he have the heart to drink tea at this time.

Rong Zhao came quite quickly, but he was half-hugged and half-framed by Zi Ji and Mei Ruo, all drunk, and he couldn't say anything, but fortunately, he knew that he would ask when he entered the door: "Where is my silver?" ”

Zhao Mu took out the silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Here." ”

"Ruo'er, look carefully, don't miss one." Rong Zhao leaned on Zi Ji's shoulder and ordered Mei Ruo with a wine burp.

Mei Ruo stepped forward and took the silver ticket in Zhao Mu's hand and counted them, then turned around and smiled: "Son, no more, no less, just 30,000 taels." ”

"Good! King Pingnan really counts when he speaks. Rong Zhao gave Zhao Lie a thumbs up, smiled, and went to sit down beside Gu Chen.

Zhao Lie saw that Rong Zhao was drunk like this, and he couldn't say anything, so he simply asked Zi Ji directly: "Miss Tang, since you can decompose the seven poisons in my son, you must also be able to prepare an antidote." You make a price, this king doesn't bother the two masters, fortunately, the antidote will be entrusted to you. ”

Zi Ji smiled slightly and said, "The prince said this too easily. Not everything in this world can be bought with silver. ”

What do you mean by that? If you can't buy it with money, how can you get the antidote? Listen to it. Zhao Lie's cold gaze locked on Zi Ji and said in a deep voice.

"Don't be angry, and listen to Zi Ji clearly. Let's talk about the poison leeches in these seven poisons, pick the fattest female leeches on the day of the great heat to catch, and the toxins in their bodies are the hottest and most intense in the year, and the antidote to this poison requires extremely cold things. I know that in the icy land of the Arctic, there is a kind of algae in the water under three feet of ice, and the sap of this fresh algae can detoxify the poison of leeches. Then the prince calculated, how much manpower and material resources would it take for people to go to the North Pole to get this kind of ice jade algae? How much silver does this make? However, if you can't refine the juice correctly, it will also not be able to detoxify, so how can this be calculated? It took me more than ten years to develop this method of quenching, but how should I calculate this account? ”

Zhao Lie frowned and said, "Speaking of which, it's nothing more than a condition. Tell me, how can you agree to make me an antidote? ”

Zi Ji thought for a moment and chuckled: "I follow our son-in-law, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't want to be happy every day." If you have to say that there are any conditions...... That is, the revenge of my Bashu Tang Sect has not been avenged, and the enemy has not been found so far. If you are willing to help me with this, then I will help you with this. ”

Zhao Lie was slightly stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "What year and month are you talking about?" How can you let this king go to your enemies for a while? How to get revenge on you? ”

"It's really impossible for others, but it's easy for the prince, it's just whether you are willing or not." Zi Ji smiled.

"Where do you start?" Zhao Lie asked funny.

"Because when my Tang family was wiped out, the prince happened to lead troops to pass by Bashu, such a big murder, hundreds of people in a family were wiped out overnight, and the government also recorded such a thing. The prince only needs to visit those old departments of yours attentively, and he will definitely find some clues. In addition, I might as well give Wang Ye another very useful clue - Wang Ye Rui was seriously ill and almost died a few years ago, but he was hit by my Tang Sect's unique poisonous nine consecutive chains. I think that my family was wiped out at the beginning, and the reason for this was because of the poison book in my family's collection. And the Nine Rings are one of the incurable poisons. Now whoever poisons King Rui is the enemy who destroyed my Tang Sect back then. The prince only needs to find the person who poisoned the prince Rui, and then he can find the enemy for Zi Ji. If the prince can avenge this blood sea for Zi Ji, then you are my Zi Ji's benefactor, and Zi Ji will do his best to save Ling Lang's life. Zi Ji said slowly, word by word, her voice was calm and loud, and everyone present could hear it very clearly.

After hearing this, Zhao Lie frowned and fell into deep thought.

Gu Chen sighed sadly: "I didn't expect Miss Ziji's background to be so pitiful. ”

"Lord Wang, this is a fair deal for you. Do you do it or not? Zi Ji asked again.
